Information | Hi to all our Heat of battle fans. It's been a while since we
have been able to update you with behind the scenes activity. So
this will bring you all upto date.
First off, due to work and other personal commitments, you will have
read on the HoB:Source news page, that we lost our erstwhile
leader, Reaper. Unfortunately, Reaper feels it best to hang
up the hat of Development Team Leader, but I am sure that he will
remain on the team in an advisory role and possibly for some coding
from time to time.
I would also like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all of the
original team that created and developed this evergreen modification
for the first mod to be created for the Call of Duty series.
Now, given the news above, I was asked if I would like to continue the
mod, in all it's various facets - to which my answer is yes.
Hmmm, now there is a leading comment - various facets. This
implies that there are more faces to HoB than might be realised, so
here we go.
HoB:Source - Here lies a problem. There appears to be a dearth of
HL2 modders that are willing or prepared to work on this mod. Having
got to an alpha stage of the mod, we have been unable to progress it
further and it is therefore, now dead in the water. This is
truely sad for those that have put so much time and effort into the
mod, particularly Reaper and Dogsbody. (Breaking
news;- Another modding team have offered to help complete HoB:S, so it
may yet be salvaged - in the meantime - as you were.)
So, we are left with HoB:CoD, where we started. Again, the sad
news is that the original team that developed this mod have moved onto
pastures and mods new. But, we still have Upholder and 2Starr
(who made the move to HoB:UO possible - thanks guys) to work on
providing updates to this evergreen mod.
This mod is not dead and expect new updates in the not too distant
future, Just as soon as we can get Upholder to devote a little time for
an update. I am also looking to expand the Dev team for HoB:CoD,
with a view to convert the upcoming CoD4:MW, not just to the HoB
format, but to fully convert the game back to WWII.
This is not going to be a small task, so I ask all our resolute
followers to bear with us as we reorganise and start working towards a
new incarnation.
In the meantime, any modders out there, that wish to be part of this
move to CoD4, please contact myself or Upholder with details of what
you are able to bring to the mod.
Your new Dev Team Leader
